What is Does Cervical Length at 13–15 Weeks' Gestation Predict Preterm Delivery in an Unselected Population? about?
## Abstract ## Objective To assess the role of early mid‐trimester cervical length measurement as a predictor of spontaneous preterm birth in an unselected population. ## Methods In this prospective study, unselected, asymptomatic, Caucasian women with singleton pregnancies underwent standardized transvaginal ultrasonographic (TVS) cervical length measurement at 13–15 weeks' gestation as a screening test for preterm delivery (PTD). Women with multiple gestations, iatrogenic PTD, and previous cervical conization were excluded. The primary outcome measures were spontaneous PTD at < 37 and < 34 weeks. The correlation between cervical length and previous obstetric history was evaluated. ## Results A total of 2469 patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean gestational age at cervical assessment was 14 + 2 weeks. The mean gestational age at delivery was 40 + 0 weeks. The rate of spontaneous deliveries before 37 weeks' gestation was 1.7%. In 0.2% the delivery occurred before 34 weeks' gestation. The mean ± standard deviation cervical length for the entire population was 44.2 ± 5.4 mm. No difference was observed between cervical length in women that delivered at term and those that deli
